Thank you JW for your observation. That is the type of info I hope to get by posting as much detail as possible, that way I will have zero defects, "I HOPE ". Yes I didn't send it with the starter, my bad there. I do have it along with new data plates, I also had new plates for the distributor, generator, and the voltage regulator made. I think I also need to touch up the arms on the shocks they came back a natural finsh. Thanks again for all the help

Here is a picture of the starter. It was restored by Mcknight in Pittsburg, Pa. Nice to work with I even visited the shop on a trip out there to visit my daughter when she lived in Beaver Falls, Pa.

If anyone out there can see anything that needs more detailing please feel free to comment. All of the parts are as received from the vendor and are subject to detailing prior to installation.

When ever I get that far.

The exhaust manifold is painted with the cast blast, I did notice on the web page the part number was a differently labeled product. Same part number just different graphics. Same instructions. When I purchased it from Brandon I didn't need to specify any other finish except cast blast.

I will need to look up the semi gloss black on the intake for brand and part number.

Sorry it took so long to get reply.

Hello all. I just posted this on my blog and decided to post
The manifold was painted using a high temp 1200 cast blast finish purchased from Brandon Enterprises,P.O. Box 511, Trevose, Pa. 19053-0511.
The paint number is 16-2688. It shows a manufacture calledSeymour of Sycamore, 917 Crosby Ave. Sycamore, IL. 1-800-435-4886. They have a web page www.seymourpaint.com .
I found this paint to be so close to a blast finish you need to be cautious as to not miss any spots.
it here also. Fred D

I will be posting more pictures of components that have been restored.
I will be posting picture of parts that have been powdercoated.

I figure this would be a good time to start my restoration blog. This is a shot of the manifolds being surfaced.

Just a quick note, I also had Five Points rebuild my front shocks and they are great to work with i talked to Matt several times and was very professsional at all times. I didn't get the same feeling when i talked with the other vendor. In my opinion we all made a great choice.
